Stocks = The stock market today
was the dulleet for the past two weeks.
1t was feverish and unsettled, but on
the whole heavy. London was con-
spicuous seller early in the day, which
was taken advantage of By the besvs
for a raid. The declinei established,
however, were generally Insignificant.
The preponderance was on the side of
higher figures. Later decidedly bat
ter tone was manifest ID, though the
market at times waspoeitively doll,
jersey Central again became the chiel
center of attraction, and recorded
decline from the highest figures of
per cent. Upon the removal OF the
pressure, however, q ma erial reaction
occurred. Almost all the entire
list, with the exception OF Lacka-
wanna, which showed stub
born strength throughout the
day, yielded more or less
in the forenoon. The action Of the
Attorney General Of Louisiana in ap-
plying for an injunction against the
Cotton Oil Trusts rendered the latter
specially weak on heavy sales, but
there was rally from the lowest fig
ures toward the close. The market
was weak at the opening, first prices
showing declines of tos. The market
showed feverishness I'D irregularity.
Prices were generally heavy, however,
over the entire list. The decline was
continued until nearly noon, when
better feeling was apparent, but the
market became decidedly dull. A
period of comparative stagnation In
prices ensued, which lasted until
about o'clock pm, when another
general decline was effected. The
market closed on a rally, however,
quiet and steady. Sales, 22S, 1853 shares.
Railroad bonds ruled quiet. Sales,
81 1857 900. Final quotations generally
showed fractional changes only.
